jagmalhi;631153 said:hi yazmeen! yeah i don't mind polishing it to make it look brand newdo you know where i can get a high quality job done at a fair price? also, am looking for:
1) xenon bulbs, or however to change the current yellow bulbs to xenon
2) polish the headlights, rear lights and foglamps
3) new angle eye
4) radio on/off button - it's missing from the car, must've fell off somewhere lol
5) prob gonna change rims. it's currently 17", i'll keep it that way. this one i will go to klang etc to find so no issues
any other simple exterior mods? oh yeah...quad exhaust how to bikin? got any good after market exhaust tips like sebring,hamman,ac etc?whr can i find ori ones and how much do i expect to pay? also prefer something less noisy..just a deep growl will be niccceeeeeeee
1) I'm also keen on this upgrade. Let me know how u do it!
2) Yazmeen can do this for u
3) Yazmeen can do this for u too! He's running a GB on this. I think we're 2 or 3 cars short of the 5 required.
4) Will PM u the shop.. also ask Yazmeen coz the shop is next to his office. alternatively, check with digitalpunk or kadir. They have change their HU. See if they still have their ori unit and strike a deal.
5) Will PM u the shop I went to. Lots and lots of rims for E38 there.
6) Our exhaust system is already a twin pipe setup. Just change exhaust tip only for quad pipe look. You will need to cut your existing bumper or get the ACS rear skirts. Some US E38 don't cut the stock bumper and just run the tailpipe below it. IMHO, its too low and doesn't look right. Also, you will have to mod your muffler brackets to lower it as it will be too high in its stock position if the bumper is not cut. ACS kit - ask Unker Vincent. Exhaust, I'll PM u the guy i went too. however, that won't change the sound tho... for that, you'll need to at least change or mod the muffler or get aftermarket system.

Haiyo, where got other headlights? Spotlight i'm well versed...hehe
Anyway, to answer ur questions:
1) xenon bulbs, or however to change the current yellow bulbs to xenon- if ur car is non projector type, just stick to the ori H7 bulb, xenon bulb at non projected headlight doesn't work well.
2) polish the headlights, rear lights and foglamps- we can refurbish the headlights only. rear lights doesn't really make so much improvement. Fog light is made from glass, cannot do anything unless buy new or used with minimal stone chips.
3) new angle eye- i'm in the process of gathering bunch of the 7er to do the group buy for SMD LED angle eye, thanks to one of our forumer in offering this. If u have it later, we can do the installation together when ur lights is refurbished.
4) radio on/off button - it's missing from the car, must've fell off somewhere lol- go to the chop shop, or i can look for it later if got time. But is ur radio is the normal type of with the screen?
5) prob gonna change rims. it's currently 17", i'll keep it that way. this one i will go to klang etc to find so no issues- Go for at least 18 or higher. I heard one of the forumer K*N*Z is selling his 18" style 32 quietly to upgrade to 19"
any other simple exterior mods? oh yeah...quad exhaust how to bikin? got any good after market exhaust tips like sebring,hamman,ac etc?whr can i find ori ones and how much do i expect to pay? also prefer something less noisy..just a deep growl will be niccceeeeeeee- Quad exhaust will be complete with AC Schnitzer kit. For that matter u can refer to our forumer named Vincent Hor. Ori exhaust tip will cost u few thousand each, so u can guess how much is muffler then.
My advise is, since u just purchased this car, better settle for the things that u dun have at the moment, or minor repair first, then after everything has been great for u, time to mod and upgrade

He! He! anyone interested to buy my Style 32 18" Rims? Originals and specifically for E38 offset and centre bore size. Complete set of 5 pieces. Refurbished and never ever been skimmed. Will fit E32 and E34 as well. Sorry no tyres.
